    Wen Xun's "Fullmetal Alchemist" has caused quite a stir in the Japanese otaku community!  Although Wen Xun's novels have been published before, and the comics are in the process of being serialized, and even single volumes of comics have been released, after all, there are still people who don't read comics and only watch animations.  For example, there is a TV station in Tokyo, Japan, called tvtokyo. When translated into Chinese, it is TV Tokyo. Such a station is really an otaku TV station. It shows cartoons all day long.

    TV Tokyo is currently the TV station that produces the most animation series in Japan and is famous for its animation and variety shows; among them, the animations "Pok¨¦mon", "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "Keroro Gunso", "Hamtaro",  "Naruto", "Charge 21", "Sweetheart!" and "Yu-Gi-Oh!" are more widely broadcast on TV stations around the world, and "Pikachu", the protagonist of "Pok¨¦mon", is the mascot of the station.  In China, where Wen Xun lives, many TV stations broadcast CCTV's "News Network" from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., so we ordinary people will not be concerned about the scene no matter which channel is switched to at a time.  I was surprised that they were all the same.

    As for Japan, they are different from China. The only national television station that is truly public is NHK, and the other five major television networks are all privately owned.  These five TV networks - Nippon Television, Tokyo Broadcasting, TV Tokyo, TV Asahi and Fuji TV basically don't broadcast any news from NHK, so basically you can't see what all the TV stations in Japan are showing.  The same screen news!  Unless it is a particularly urgent incident, such as 911.  In other words, it is a particularly big disaster.  Even the death of the Japanese King.  But among these TV stations.  There is one TV station that is weird, and that is TV Tokyo.  As the smallest of the five major TV networks, TV Tokyo is quite unique - such a TV station can handle any major breaking news, even if the other four TV networks and NHK all report it collectively, they all  There will be no emergency news!

    For example, among the otaku community in Japan, there has always been a legend that according to several Taiwanese newspapers, there is a standard that allows ordinary people to quickly understand the seriousness of the matter when not reporting news - the first level, which is NHK breaking news reporting.  So just pay attention to such a thing.  The second level, that is, the other four private TV stations have also started broadcasting emergency news.  Then such a thing is likely to be big, such as the United States encountering 911 or something like that.  Then you need to be vigilant.  At this time, TV Tokyo was still showing cartoons as usual, without even a marquee subtitle!  So at the third level, TV Tokyo started inserting ticker subtitles under the screen of cartoons!  At such a time, it can be said that the otakus will prepare to evacuate. It is very likely that there will be a major earthquake or tsunami in Japan.

    And when it reaches the fourth level, that is, Channel Tokyo does not broadcast emergency news or anything, but inexplicably changes the program schedule, then you really should go out and evacuate immediately!  Level 5.  If other TV stations suddenly start broadcasting the Japanese Prime Minister¡¯s briefing, what remarks the Prime Minister made to the people across the country, etc.  Then it's a state of emergency.  And the last level is that Tokyo Channel actually started broadcasting emergency news!  Then this is definitely a sign of the end of the world, it¡¯s gone!  So for such a TV station, there is no news at all. It is just cartoons, cartoons and cartoons all day long!  So for this kind of TV station, is the target audience someone who can read comics all day long if they have nothing to do?

    Although Japan is said to be a country of animation, adults and children often watch different things.  Wen Xun once heard that Japanese comics are divided into levels like this - if yo-yo is used as the theme, then the children's comics are "Let's play yo-yo together", and the juvenile comics are "your dad used to use it back then"  The yo-yo defeated my father, and today I will use the yo-yo to defeat you!", and then the youth comic is "Back then, your father defeated my father with the yo-yo, and also took away my mother, which made my father depressed and  Die, now I want revenge, I want to defeat you, steal your woman, and make you die of depression!" As for the comics that adults read, it will become "Back then, your company's yo-yo defeated our company,  But this year our company¡¯s new product, the yo-yo, will definitely beat you and regain the number one spot in the market!¡±

    So it¡¯s obvious that in a country with a lot of comics and animations, there are different works for different age groups to watch.  From a business perspective, this is what is called market segmentation.  In such a niche market, many people have not paid attention to "Fullmetal Alchemist" before.  But when such a cartoon was aired after "One Piece", so many people were shocked and fell in love with it!  It is the first time for many people to see thisAfter watching Fullmetal Alchemist, my first reaction was how can such a cartoon be so realistic?  That¡¯s right, realistic!  In previous cartoons, they were really passionate!

    Starting from various cartoons such as super robots in the 1970s, there have been stories of various passionate protagonists fighting, and it reached a peak in the 1980s!  Whether it's "Saint Seiya" or "Fist of the North Star" or "Dragon Ball", there are all kinds of fights!  The protagonists are all characters who are focused on moving forward!  And in the 1990s, it was almost the same!  Like "Rurouni Kenshin", "Slam Dunk" and even "Yu Yu Hakusho", these are all animation comics that focus on fighting!  And as for their protagonists, overall there is nothing dark about them. They are generally sunny and upward. The overall animation style is relaxed and interesting, plus tense during various struggles!

    But in such a "Fullmetal Alchemist", everything is different!  In the first episode, it was shown that the protagonist and his brother performed forbidden human body training in order to resurrect their mother. As a result, the protagonist lost one of his limbs, and his brother even lost his body!  This is a big mistake!  So the protagonist said that he is not looking for the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect his mother, but to get his brother's body back!  He wants to atone for his sins!  Such a protagonist is very deep from the beginning, there are no funny scenes, and the protagonist is a bit unsmiling. Instead, he is the younger brother who wants to make his older brother laugh all day long.  The protagonists have already made a big mistake before the show started, and the rest of the plot is all about "atonement."  Honestly, it¡¯s all so different!  If we follow the habits of previous Japanese animations, the protagonist and his brother may not be successful at first if they want to resurrect their mother, but as they travel and practice, they will eventually find the Philosopher's Stone or something, and then  In the end, the mother was resurrected, which turned into a happy ending.

    But it's different in "Fullmetal Alchemist". The protagonist said in the first episode that he doesn't want to resurrect his mother, he just wants to get his brother's body back, he just wants to atone for his sins!  Such a theme obviously implies that the protagonist will not resurrect his mother in the future finale. Just such a comparison, isn't that shocking enough?  This is no longer a happy ending!  Moreover, in the first episode, there is a lord who deceives the people in various ways, and a little girl who wants her lover to come back to life but is deceived by the lord. In the end, it gives people the feeling that in such a cartoon, it really is not  Just like other cartoons, if you just want to work hard, you will definitely succeed!  The world of such a cartoon is really the same as the real world. You may not succeed even if you work hard, and even some things may not succeed even if you work hard!

    Such a different worldview is so shocking!  So when the first episode of such an animation was aired, it immediately caused a great shock among various groups in Japan. No one thought that a shounen manga could be drawn to such an extent!  No one thought that such a story could be so profound!  And in the second and third episodes that followed, one after another happened, which made people see that the lives of other people in the story were not very happy!  In addition to the girls in the first episode, the characters in other towns who appear in the second and third episodes also have people they want to save just like the girls in the first episode.  Their lives are not perfect, there are all kinds of shortcomings, and there are people they can't forget!  Such an atmosphere is so special!  It¡¯s completely different compared to other animations!

    In other animations, every passerby in every city lives a happy life, or lives very happily, and basically few people are miserable.  In the animation "Fullmetal Alchemist", everyone's life is not perfect, and everyone has their own shortcomings.  This is so much like the real world!  In the real world, where are so many people living happily?  Everyone has someone they can't forget and want to get back. Such a person may be a family member or a lover, or there may be something they regret and want to get back.  This is life!  And "Fullmetal Alchemist" is like moving the weight and depth of life into a cartoon!  The result of this is that everyone feels so different, so the direct consequence is that the ratings of such a cartoon will gradually approach that of "One Piece"!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
